Design and practice for the full mission flight process validation strategy

Abstract

The circumlunar free return and reentry flight vehicle of the 3rd phase of China lunar exploration program is the first mission of jump reentry out of the earth in China, which has the attribute of high-integration and new-flight process. This paper presents a three-step method, which is a full-scale means and ways of full-mission flight validation. Firstly, the full-flight process is divided into some mission profiles according to their characters. Secondly, the case scenarios are identified against the profiles. Lastly, the test cases collection is achieved. This method has been put into practice and has good effect.
